Comments on: The Wall Street Journal and the death of print http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/2009/05/18/the-wall-street-journal-and-the-death-of-print/ Where media and technology meet Thu, 23 May 2013 00:00:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Techie http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/2009/05/18/the-wall-street-journal-and-the-death-of-print/comment-page-1/#comment-358889 Techie Mon, 18 May 2009 15:25:45 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/?p=16818#comment-358889 This blog post sounds like sour grapes to me. The WSJ is one of few newspapers that has been making the transition to newer, online media successfully. A growing number of people, including myself, are signing up to pay for premium content where news articles are unskewed and provided as news--and opinion articles appear in the Opinion section. I think Reuters does an excellent job in providing solid, factual content--unfortunately, many newspapers add a left or right slant around this content. This is very unpalatable to many readers who are moving away from these slanted news sources and venturing out to the WSJ and the Reuters websites for their news content.
